BLONDIE queen of punk in my days

This week I have been mostly listening to Oh, Inverted World by The Shins.

I hate most of the stuff we play at work at the moment.

I've only bought one cd in the last few months and it was the remastered 'Goddamnit' by Alkaline Trio. I already owned the original but the remastered version comes with a dvd which I've only half watched.

Sorry, that probably wasn't the boredom killing post you were looking for!

Haven't bought any new music for a couple of weeks, but the last one was a Trojan Ska box set.

Currently listening to Cooper Temple Clause, Fratellis, Raveonettes and Miles Davis.

I loath Sandy Thom, for no particular reason.

Yay! I like these threads, gives me and Bennett a chance to list a few thousand bands for one another to check out.....Ace  :doh:

My most recent purchase was an EP by a band called Closure In Moscow - If you're into your 'easy listening' type rock, then check em out!

I can't stop listening to Spread Legs Not Lies, by The Blackout

And i loathe Chris Brown....Well RnB in general... :suicide:

I tried the new Bloc Party album - Bloody awful! I like Silent Alarm after getting it recommended by you folks. The second album was disappointing, while this is just pish !

End of Transmission

cant believe you've only just got those Tom Waits albums Sonic-you've got a lot of catching up to do!
Get "Heart Attack and Vine",if you haven't already.Also,"Mr. Love and Justice",the new Billy Bragg album is a good'un

I love Chris Brown and Neyo!! Ross at work made me a CD and its amazing he managed to illegally download some tracks of Neyos new album!
I am not listening to any girls aloud as it makes me too upset that they have cancelled the concert at Bowood and refunds cannot be sorted out!!!    >:(

also Kylies X album as I watched her tour on channel 4 at the weekend and I wept as its the only tour Ive missed of hers for years and she is amazing and my hero

If you havent got it already, buy A Larum by johnny flynn. Its mint

i've got most of tom waits' albums now, the independent record store in witney has different ones each time i visit.

mr love and justice tis good indeed!

I spent my time between puking and shitting last week lying in bed watching streamed episodes of "The Wire", the Tom Waits theme music now runs around my brain constantly. It's driving me mental.

I see you still haven't got over your Ryan Adams / Whiskeytown / Americana in general obsession. Some nice stuff there. Am I wasting my time recommending you go back and listen to a few of The Band's albums? You've been there already right? If not then "The Band" is a good place to start, or "Music from Big Pink" or "The Basement Tapes".

I fucking love The Band. I recommend the book This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band. There's some very good literature on The Band.

I'll look it up. Since my post I've managed to drive Tom Waits out of my head but he's been replaced by "The night they drove Old Dixie down" on a permanenent loop. I hate it when songs get stuck in your head and you're not somewhere where you can play music.

  I used to think the Band were utter shite,  then after lengthy unwanted exposure, I decided they were ace....now I'm back to thinking it's shite....no idea why.

Because you're a cantankerous old git?

it's not a bad obsession. at least it isn't chris brown...

not familiar with the band, i shall check them out.

 Think it's more that reactionary anthems like the one I your head, have no meaning for me....your neck may be red, mine isn't.

My latest Album Buys

Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone
Weezer - Red Album
Brigade - Come Morning We Fight
Kill Hannah - Until There's Nothing Left Of Us

Young Sonic,if you like a bit of "americana"(I hate that term though) try Lambchop-Kurt Wagner is an understated genius."Nixon","Is A Woman" or "Aw C'mon,No You C'mon" are good albums to start with.Also check out Vic Chesnutt

I'd strongly suspect that his neck is the only part of Lumps that isn't red. Reg in "more lefty than Lumps" shock

Oh,by the way,I loathe the Kaiser Chiefs

thee more shallows album is lush and also listening to vetiver album from last year, dug out a blue aeroplanes album.

I think to dimiss as "reactionary" anything that references the South in anything but pejorative terms is in itself a bit reactionary.

You're going to miss a lot a decent music and literature that way.

This is a song written by a Canadian, played by a bunch of other Canadians (except Levon who was from Arkansas. It's been covered by Johnny Cash, Jerry Garcia, and Joan Baez for christ sake, hardly the most right wing list of artists.

I will also suggest the Fying Buritto Brothers, Gram Parsons (check out the Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo'), Jason and the Scorchers, Uncle Tupelo...and maybe some others I cant' remember right now.

I didn't mind them but by George that new effort is a shocker.  It's not often I'm offended by music but that really is drivel of the worst kind.

Currently enjoying a bit of Martha Reeves and The Enemy.  I'm shit at discovering new music I must admit. 

Haven't heard that in ages...gonna start using it more often.

Bit of useless trivia for the day...

"By George" is a linguistic corruption of "by Jove". "By Jove" entered into the English language in or around the 1500s as a way of invoking god without actually using the word "God", which was considered blasphemous.

I got the new Verve album yesterday not too shabby really. Quite enjoyed what i have heard of it. Not too keen on the new Bloc Party song tbh. It's a bit weird. I'll be picking up the Kings Of Leon and Glasvegas albums next month i'd have thought.

On other stuff i'm still really enjoying The Young Knives.

Ahhh, Way Down in the Hole. Which season are you on Lumps?

What I am enjoying listening to the most at the moment is: Four Tet - Ringer EP; Holy Fuck - Holy Fuck LP; Acoustic Ladyland - Skinny Grin; Black Mountain - In The Future; and The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me

Thank you, Dazza.  I enjoy that kind of knowledge...no trivia is useless...knowing stuff is good.

I'm way behind, just started on season 2 to find Mcnulty on a boat and the theme tune has changed to another version of Way Down in the Hole, but still by Tom Waits. Is there another version for season 3?

Yes! There's a different version for each of the 5 series. I'm on series 5, with only about 3 or 4 left until the end. Sob.

Hah! I'm so glad I've got weeks and weeks of episodes to go. It is the best thing I've seen for ages.

yeah Ne-Yo's 'Year Of The Gentleman' album has some mint tunes on it doesnt it?
